I don't understand. When IE flushes its cache it deletes the images. It doesn't delete them, in the sense of wiping the data, it just removes a pointer to them and marks the space that the file occupied as unallocated. This is exactly what was found on his disk.
Wow! I didn't know the people who worked at Fry's could read and write. Certainly the ones I have spoken could barely speak English - and I think English was their first language.
That's a bold claim. How has American education made science boring? Are American science lessons more boring than those in other countries? Do Americans do less interesting science? Please tell!
I could follow the link. But the whole idea is that you have some text to help you decide whether or not to follow the link. In some cases the text can help you interpret what you're looking at when you do follow the link. In this case, when I followed the link, I still had no idea what I was looking at.
...out how to do stuff (hence offering minimal prizes to entice other people into doing the research for them) but they now can't even decide what it is that they should even be trying to research. I find this worrying.
The idea is that you package bread in plastic bags already sliced. Saves lots of time. Oh yeah...I also heard a news report that someone has come up with the idea of making wheels round. Apparently the ride is much smoother than with other shapes. Of course it could just be hype...
That's a good distinction. An ex-colleague of mine, years ago, needed to implement directed acyclic graphs to represent a workflow. He thought: "it's a graph, graphs can be represented by adjacency matrices, so I'll use a matrix". So an N element graph became an NxN matrix. Inserting new nodes in the graph took time O(N) as entire rows were updated. I pointed out that this was a braindead idea (in polite language). His response was that my suggestion (er...just sticking pointers to parents and children each node like nprmal programmers) was an optimization and as such should be left until later. But the truth is, he wasn't delaying optimization, he was programming badly.
If they'd named them Bush and Cheney rather than Spirit and Opportunity then the staff at NASA would clearly suffer far less when the probes eventually break down. Personally, I still haven't recovered from how I felt when Huey was incapacitated.
...of subsurface scattering you'll recognize the look. Everything gets this characteristic translucent look that's quite different from how real skin (apart from maybe a baby's) looks. When I see that picture I think "subsurface scattering" not "real woman":-)
I understand that rendering each individual hair with the physics of the environmental interactions would take countless generations
Individual hairs are rendered all the time in movies. Using techniques like deep shadow buffering there's little difficulty in rendering 100,000 hairs, say, with self shadowing. Good lighting models for hair are well known too. I guess you don't mean 'render' but 'simulate the dynamics of'.
The primary function of my T|3 is book reading. In has a large (well, until I read that Zaurus review) 480x320 screen that's easy on the eyes and yet it slides shut to something that really does fit in your pocket. It syncs fine with MacOS X.
I actually use Palm Reader because the selection of books available in that format is large, even though it's proprietary. (It's about day's work with debuffer to crack the encryption BTW, though it's more than my life's worth to actually say whether or not I've done it.)
Palm Reader has a great built in reference mode. I have the entire unabridged Webster on it - fantastic!
I've configured the side button (usually to activate the voice recorder) to launch the reader so if I'm waiting in line at Safeway it's about 1 second to go from boredom to reading a good book.
On the down side - you can read for a few hours, but don't expect to read all night without a recharge.
Does Windows CE (or whatever it's called these days) share any code with VMS? I guess not as the CE kernel is surely completely independent of the NT one.

...just mount /dev/random as a petabyte drive. Admittedly it might be hard to find your data in there - but chances are it is in there somewhere.
No doubt you've seen this application form.
Maybe they need to install a spelling checker too.

Don't be so quick to criticize the "robot war death matches" - some of those actually motivate kids to go out and do some engineering for themselves.
...WMD.

He can be an advocate without actively pursuing new science.

I carry my T3 in my pocket all the time and the flip cover that came with it works fine.

Come on! Does anyone thing that face picture on the BBC web site actually looks realistic?

Wait till you hear the bad news: it runs an operating system developed by a bunch of unpaid volunteers that's a clone of a mainframe OS from the 70s.
Just this morning I was thinking it was time I looked into shorting SCO stock. I missed out.
Are they sure it's completely flat?
